What Escape From Tarkov 1.0's Full Release Might Look Like
BSG recently released the first part in a multitude of videos for their own official beginner's guide for Escape From Tarkov. It’s a good watch, and I recommend you check it out even if you’ve been on the game for years. It’s nice to hear the voice actor for USEC 3, Forty-One going over the basics of the game. So shoutouts to him. But after watching that video and knowing that it’s going to turn into a series of beginner friendly videos, it made me reflect on the entire game as a whole and where 1.0 might be in the pipeline. What features may or may not be added. How the game might start and how it will end. Because regardless of the in-between sections of the game, the goal is still to get to Terminal and actually escape from the area of Tarkov. That’s always been the end goal for anyone playing Tarkov, and it seems like that hasn’t changed over the years. But in regard to the rest of the game, what can we expect for new introductions for weapons, gear, mechanics and the other important aspects like that? Well, that’s what I wanted to go over today; just having a conversation about the potential of 1.0 being around the corner and how much different Tarkov might look or might now look. Because while we know for certain some elements still haven’t been added that BSG wants, there might be others that can’t make the cut and are saved post official launch of the game. Other than that, we still don’t have an exact release date. We’ve heard the phrase “this year” for a couple of years now, and maybe 2024 will finally be that year. I’m just as if not more curious than you about Tarkov’s future and what it looks like, especially how our account and experience with Tarkov will start once we go full 1.0

Understanding the Mindset of a “Good” Tarkov Player
We’ve spoken about this topic before; many months ago. About what makes a “good” Tarkov player. And today, I wanted to make sort of a follow-up video to that idea. Previously, we talked about how aim, knowledge of the maps, and adaptability were cornerstone components to making a lethal and effective Tarkov player. And while those are definitely still important, upon reflection of the idea of what is a “good” Tarkov player, there have been other ideas and components that I’ve taken into more serious consideration that would arguably be sometimes more important that those previously talked about ideas. I’m sure most of us that play the game also watch others play it. And especially those that are prominent and skillful at the game. You watch their gameplay, and you can sometimes pick up on little ticks or muscle memory from doing the same thing thousands of times before. What they end up using a majority of the time, and how they bend and stretch the game to play more under their own rules. There is a lot more nuance with these ideas, and it isn’t as concrete and simple as the previous video. It boils down to more of a mentality thing, as well as repetition of playing the game a certain way. And that’s what I wanted to discuss today: the smaller, finer details of playing Tarkov and what aspects you can focus on once you have the basics and fundamentals down to really grow as a player. Again, it’s not as cut and dry, nor pretty as giving someone three tips and they immediately improve. Tarkov, and we’ve said this before many times, is a complex game with a ton of layers, situations, moments where one idea might apply but not the other. It’s important to understand the why as much as the how. So, let’s try and understand what goes into the mindset of a good Tarkov player.

The Counterspeller: Turning Off Your Enemy's Magic
Magic is one of the great powers in any fantasy RPG. It allows one to shape the face of the cosmos, to control the minds of a populace, to call lightning from the skies, or to render the most powerful warrior little more than a broken, mewling weakling. And while magic may be in short supply among one's enemies rather early in a campaign, spells and spell-like abilities are some of the most common tools used by antagonists once things really start rolling.

Witch-Knights: Warriors of the Lost Gods
On the lost world of Arathia, hidden from the rest of the Multiverse, there was a terrible betrayal. One god, the Measurer, grown corrupt and tyrannical, cast his divine kin into an inescapable prison. From this well of infinite silence they could not hear or answer the prayers of their worshipers. Cut off from the gods, the holy warriors of this world could no longer use their priestly powers. The minions of the dark god of stone ruled with an iron fist, grinding away all joy from the lives of the people of Arathia. This was the start of the Grey Times, an era of endless toil, fear, and oppression.

Tarkov's Arena is Still Problematic (And Might Always Be)
Arena recently got a relatively large update that also coincided with a wipe; resetting everyone’s rank and preset progress back to pretty much zero. And with the update came some large changes to the presets, how you unlock them, and how they are divided up between themselves. While I won’t be going into the specific details of the patch notes, I’ll leave a link in the description if you want to read them yourself, after playing the new version of Arena, things don’t feel like they are headed in the right direction for some elements of this game mode. There are plenty of changes that were positive: removing grenades from pretty much all the classes and adding them to the world level. Allowing players to funnel their experience towards a specific preset they want to unlock and being able to use any preset within that respective class. Standardizing the medication each preset has so at the very least everyone has painkillers. These were important changes to help reign in the power of each preset. But the problems with Arena go deeper than just number tweaks and adjusting the equipment on offer for a particular present. As badly as I want Arena to be successful and a fun, faster-paced alternative to regular Tarkov, I fear as though that Tarkov was never truly meant to be an arena style shooter. Some people might immediately say, well no shit, of course the writing was on the wall. And you’re kind of right; but I had hopes deep down that BSG would find an interesting way to bring the slower more methodical gameplay of Tarkov to a faster paced environment. And so far, it doesn’t feel like they understand the root issues with trying to artificially speed up Tarkov. There’s still time to figure it out, and their roadmap is substantial enough that we might get there eventually, but let’s go over why fundamentally, Tarkov’s arena mode might never get where the player base as well as BSG hopes to get it.

5 Beginner Friendly Weapons in Tarkov
Escape From Tarkov has a large brevity of weapons on offer than can be used by the player to take out both AI and PMC alike. But in the early game, it can be difficult to decide what you are going to run especially considering that purchasing weapons from the vendors can be an expensive affair. There are, however, decent early game options they offer that can be utilized to a surprisingly effective amount. Today, we are going to run through five level one vendor weapons that should be considered more than other options on offer. Once you have access to the flea market these guns can be bought and modified for even cheaper than what the vendors can give you. Here are five beginner friendly weapons anyone can master in Tarkov.

Are LVPO's in Tarkov Unhealthy for the Game?
LVOP or Low variable power optic is a style of scope that usually has two magnifications that can be adjusted to either or. And Tarkov has plenty of these choices on offer. The Burris 1-4x, the Razor 1-6x, Vudu 1-6x and Schmitt and Bender 1-8x. These scopes are highly sought after and can be extremely powerful in the right hands, on the right weapon. But that begs the question: are these kinds of scopes too powerful in the game? Because let’s be real for a moment: you see one of these on a gun, or in the world, where is that optic going? In your butt. You’re taking out your CMS kit, or your splint and ammo to put that sucker in there, because not only are they powerful optics, but because they are so popular, they sell for ludicrous amounts on the flea market. Everyone wants an LVPO on their gun. But why? What makes them so powerful and versatile that people are willing to shell out a quarter of a million rubles to have access to it? Let’s go over what makes them so strong, whether or not their presence in the game should be reduced, and if so, how?
